About this world

KMT-2016-BLG-2364L b is a gas giant orbiting KMT-2016-BLG-2364L, a star 21 thousand light-years from Earth. It is about 1.2 times the size of Jupiter (its size estimated from its mass) and holds 3.9 Jupiter masses.

At its size it almost certainly keeps a deep envelope of hydrogen and helium.

It was discovered in 2020 by microlensing with KMTNet. A foreground star's gravity magnifies a background star; a planet adds a blip.
